A European perspective on global patent workload
Talk of poor quality patents and flooding has become commonplace over
recent years, but a closer look at the facts suggests that things are not as
bad as they first seem. While patent offices do face serious challenges,

Directors take heed
The Delaware Supreme Court has recently handed down a decision which
could have a profound impact on the board members of many US
companies. It indicates that failure to oversee intellectual assets may lead
to personal liability.
Unlocking European patent value
A new online forum could hold the key to creating a standardised market for
patents in Europe. If it is successful, companies may be able to release

The ethics of intellectual asset management
The shift from the familiar corporate asset bases – centred upon traditional
physical and financial assets – to one increasingly based upon intangible
intellectual capital assets brings with it changing laws and subtle new
ethical problems.
